BACKGROUND Virtual reality (VR) is an evolving technology that has been applied in various aspects of medicine, including the treatment of phobia disorders, pain distraction interventions, surgical training, and medical education. These applications have served to demonstrate the various assets offered through the use of VR. OBJECTIVE To provide a background and rationale for the application ...

Virtual reality (VR) systems are promising treatment options in stroke rehabilitation because they can incorporate motor learning strategies (MLS) supporting task-oriented practice. A pre-post design was used to evaluate a knowledge translation (KT) strategy supporting therapists in acquiring proficiency with VR while integrating MLS. Following e-learning modules and experiential learning, outc...

BACKGROUND The Comprehensive ICF Core Set for vocational rehabilitation (VR) is a list of essential categories on functioning based on the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), which describes a standard for interdisciplinary assessment, documentation, and communication in VR. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine th...

The visibility representation (VR for short) is a classical representation of plane graphs. It has various applications and has been extensively studied. A main focus of the study is to minimize the size of the VR. It is known that there exists a plane graph G with n vertices where any VR of G requires a grid of size at least 2 3n × ( 4 3n − 3) (width × height). For upper bounds, it is known th...

s usual with infant technologies, realizing the early dreams for virtual reality (VR) and harnessing it to real work has taken longer than the initial wild hype predicted. Now, finally, it's happening. In his great invited lecture in 1965, " The Ultimate Display , " Ivan Sutherland laid out a vision 1 (see the side-bar), which I paraphrase: Don't think of that thing as a screen, think of it as ...

The visibility representation (VR for short) is a classical representation of plane graphs. It has various applications and has been extensively studied. A main focus of the study is to minimize the size of the VR. The trivial upper bound is (n−1)×(2n−5) (height × width). It is known that there exists a plane graph G with n vertices where any VR of G requires a grid of size at least 2 3 n× ( 4 ...

Through this paper, I intend to analyse the state of Japanese learning through virtual reality technologies, avoiding as much possible analysis prototypes and laboratory experiments, focusing instead on a case study that implements software hardware already present consumer market. After analysing VR technology currently available end-users its hardware, which has lately increased in popularity...

The present survey explored the acceptability of virtual reality (VR) exposure and in vivo exposure in 150 participants suffering from specific phobias. Seventy-six percent chose VR over in vivo exposure, and the refusal rate for in vivo exposure (27%) was higher than the refusal rate for VR exposure (3%). Results suggest that VR exposure could help increase the number of people who seek exposu...

Volume resuscitation (VR) for the treatment of newborn shock is a rare but potentially lifesaving intervention. Conducting clinical studies to assess the effectiveness of VR in the delivery room during newborn stabilization is challenging. We review the available literature and current management guidelines to determine which infants will benefit from VR, the frequency of VR, and the choice of ...

Most VR applications in mental health care have focused on cognitive behavioral therapy. This paper is a call to expand research into other theory-guided psychotherapy practices. Evidence is presented that supports the so-called dodo bird effect that contends that all bona fide psychotherapies are equally effective. Two avenues for expanding research are suggested that focus on VR strengths: cr...
